The declaration of Zambia as a Christian Nation has been maintained in the proposed constitution. And people like Guy Scott will now qualify to run for president as the proposed supreme law only requires a candidate to have been born in Zambia or be a Zambian by descent – born to Zambian or one Zambian [...]

President Sata also surprised guests when he acknowledged music superstar Oliver Mtukudzi, who was not present at the dinner.

Let us not allow the greedy ruling elite to assail the judiciary. A well-functioning, efficient, and independent judiciary is an indispensible requirement for a just, consistent, and impartial administration of justice. Thus, judicial independence is an imperative element of the right to due process, the rule of law and democracy.

1.       Introduction I read a recent posting on this site on the above topic. It made interesting reading on the revealed word of God in this present age.

His ravings and ranting on a live radio programme on Hot FM radio, does not, however, surprise us because Hakainde’s disrespect for elders stems from his difficult personal circumstances that have forced him to conceal his parentage.

Once a cop, always a cop, so the cliché goes. King Cobra left the force in 1963 and took the cop mentality to his new passion, politics. Up until 1985, he was a little known UNIP apparatchik. The nation never heard of him in the 1960s and 1970s, but he was there, a grass-root organizer simmering in vigilantism and peddling UNIP propaganda.

Many people now know that M’membe is a hypocrite who sees only the faults of others and refuses to see his own. He has called others criminals, scoundrels, crooks, felons, and corrupt. Sacred Scriptures say, ‘Why do you see the speck that is in another person’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? (Read Matthew 7:3).

It is high time M’membe cast out first the log of corruption out of his own eye, and then he will be able to see clearly to cast out the specks that are in other people. Self-righteousness belongs to narrow-minded people and rules out the possibility that one is what has gone wrong.
